Halloween Costumes Available Online
By Patricia Gorginas
Halloween costumes really say something about the people wearing
them and some people wish to accentuate a certain trait. Rockabilly
music lovers may want to dress up in full 1950s Greaser garb or
video gamers may want to dress themselves as a game controller.
Other people use their costume theme to express a wild side and
be as far from their everyday reality as possible, such as dressing
as vampires, goblins or superheroes. Some adults look for sexy
costumes as an excuse to titillate, while some guys want to dress
up in something funny, like a Breathalyzer or a condom dispenser
to be the life of the party. What are you trying to say this Halloween?
Clever Costumes For Children
Some of the cleverest costumes are the ones people devise and
make themselves. For instance, some kids paint themselves all
black and dress in black (with red or blue colored sleeves and
iPod accessories), while carrying matching backdrops, to go as
the classic iPod ad! Other kids dress up as the "Koolaid"
man and have two friends dress as pieces of the wall he was busting
through.
You can dress as a "Holy Cow," as the late gonzo journalist
Hunter S. Thompson or as one of the "Royal Tenenbaums"
in a red cord track jacket, sweatband, faux fur and eyeliner.
You can go as "Nick Nolte’s Mug Shot" by wearing a Hawaiian
shirt and messing up your hair, or you may want to use that Hawaiian
garb to go with your moustache and sunglasses, as in "Weekend
at Bernies." Imagine the laughter at the costume party when
you arrive as a lawn gnome, pine tree air freshener or paper doll!
Adult Costumes Can Be Found Online
However, if you’re looking for this year’s trendiest Halloween
costumes, then look no further than the blockbuster Hollywood
hits. For instance, the latest Batman movie is bound to bring
a host of Jokers, Batmans and Two-faces. You can find some great
adult costumes at www.halloweenadventure.com
and www.costumzee.com,
or you can make your own.
Adults may also look to films like "Grease," "Titanic,"
"Chicago," "A Clockwork Orange," "Moulin
Rouge," "Cabaret," "The Seven Year Itch"
(Marilyn Monroe), "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (Audrey Hepburn),
"Elizabeth-The Golden Age" or "Gone With the Wind"
for inspiration. For kids costumes, Harry Potter will continue
to be popular throughout 2009, so check www.whimsicalley.com,
